Bloom globe from start to finish?

[GiggleBush45]

Hi all, I have some power/load problem in my grow room where I'm having globes blow fortnightly. I was advised to change from the strong grow globes to the bloom globes as they use less and will hopefully stop the globes shitting themselves so often. Has anyone had to do this and if so how did they turn out? I have 3 photo clones at 2 weeks old. I was told all it does is creates a bit more stretch but that's all. Any advice is appreciated:-)

The metal halide ones are the problem, change to hps?

I'm a retired electrician, I'm not thinking the bulb is the problem

 

I think your problem may be your transformer, power board ,

 

Look from bad kinks in power cable etc,

 

A bad connection somewhere that's causing a intermittent fault

Maybe the ballast, its a growlush one with a know on it, but I don't know what its for so I don't touch it.

Throw it out , get a new 1

 

The know is the power 60% 80% 100% 110%

You can use HPS from start to finish, I do.

I grow SCROG, so the slower growth is actually an advantage for me, less stretch between nodes.

But I MUST agree with both Micmac and Dingo, Growlush gear is crap gear. I am yet to hear a good review for Growlush.
